OK so here's a question. A couple of you might remember me pestering everybody in the other thread. But I never read that first post, hah. Now I just did. I read the 'why you shouldn't get prebuilt' thing.
Before I was looking at a Lenovo Y580 because the Flood said it was good and could run most things quite nicely for the $800 it cost at the time. So computer nerds (don't worry- I want to be you). Tell me some things.
What does 'overclocking a processor mean and why is it more expensive? How does one do it? The only time I've ever heard of that is on an episode of Futurama and it made Bender a genius. So I'm guessing it means... making something in your computer run faster than recommended. Is it dangerous to overclock something?
Processors. Apparently an 'i7' is like... the best? Is an i5 not good? Could you run pretty much anything with an i5? It's cheaper so I'm guessing it's older, but... yeah.
And lastly... CAN you build a custom laptop? I know I know- Desktops are cheaper and better for that price for gaming. But yeah.
I don't think I'll build one anyway. I just... am terrified of screwing something up so I think I need to buy one from a store or something. But I'm curious about stuff. Overclocking just makes it faster, simply. You can do that to a graphics card and RAM as well. It can be dangerous without proper cooling.
Laptops always seem to ship with i7s, but you only really need an i5 unless you plan on video/photo editting.
There are websites that will let you pick every part out for a laptop and then they build it and send it to you, but otherwise, it's quite hard to custom build one.

So guys, BL2 gamenight? We've already got me, big100(?), and TopWargamer(?).
I don't have it.
:/
Didn't even come with video card....AC3 came with it...and speaking of which....how do I even get it? Your GPU should have come with a card that told you what to do.

Looking for a router on amazon. 4 smart phones, two Xbox 360's, 3 computers, and an iPad. Please try to keep it from being too expensive. I'm not sure what you're asking... There's not really gonna be anyway to keep that from "too expensive." A good smartphone is at least $200, and that's assuming you're going on contract. Depending on which Xbox you get, it can range in price. 3 computers is too vague... Laptop? Desktop? Router, I don't really know about that. And an iPad, that should be pretty easy to find.
Either way, I'm still not quite sure what you're asking for.I'm asking for a router that can connect 4 smartphones, 3 computers, two xboxes, and an iPad xD Just get a router that's dual band, has Gigabit ethernet ports, and is at least Wireless 802.11 N. Go with Asus, Linksys, or Netgear. This is mine, which I got on sale at Microcenter for like, $80.
